Nian Huajiao: The cold-faced treacherous minister spoiled her unconditionally after breaking his vow

She looked at the hibiscus necklace inlaid with eight treasures on Jiang Luo's chest. If she remembered correctly, this should be the one that Princess Jing gave to Jiang Luo some time ago. It was so beautiful!

She had never had such beautiful jewelry, nor a gauze skirt made of such precious brocade gauze.

Especially after her father was punished by the emperor, the Qin family became worse than before. Not only did the food get worse and worse, but even her summer dresses were from last year, and this year her mother did not even ask for new clothes to be made for her.

The most important thing is that I can’t even afford ice.

Her brother Qin Wen had to review his studies for the Autumn Examination this year, so all the ice in the mansion was for him. She kept some crushed ice in her room, and she was woken up by the heat almost every night.

The lavender brocade gauze skirt that this unlucky girl is wearing cannot be bought without several hundred taels of silver. This is enough money for her to spend on ice cubes for the entire summer!

snort!

Unexpectedly, this unlucky girl who had lost her mother, somehow managed to win the favor of Princess Jing and Madam Xie, and now Miss Xie has also become her close friend.

Everyone in the entire Yongjing City knows that Xie Qing is the beloved treasure of Lord Xie, the chief academic officer of the Imperial College!

I wonder how much benefit Jiang Luo can get by becoming her close friend!

The more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became. She twisted the handkerchief tightly in her hand, and her slender white fingers were turned red by the handkerchief.

Jiang Luo felt a burning gaze staring at her. She turned her head and met Qin Ying'er's gaze, which she couldn't retract in time.

Qin Ying'er didn't expect Jiang Luo to look at her. She felt caught and quickly withdrew her gaze in embarrassment.

Jiang Luo glanced at her calmly. Envy? Jealousy? Hate?

Wow, all here!

As expected, he is a member of the Qin family, just like Qin and Jiang Yin.

Haha... now she likes others to dislike her but can't get rid of her resentment.

Interesting!

More interesting than letting them all die...

All the ladies stood up as well and returned to their seats, making way for Xie's mother and daughter.

Madam Xie took Xie Qing forward and saluted: "The Xie family congratulates the old wife of the Duke of Zhenguo on her birthday."

"Xie Qing'er, I wish the old lady good fortune and a long life." With the support of Huayi, Xie Qing bowed to the old lady Jiang at the top of the table.

Behind the two of them, Mother Wan came forward holding a long red sandalwood box with auspicious cloud patterns carved on it. Just by looking at the box, you could tell that the things inside must be very valuable.

Mother Qin hurried over, bowed, took the birthday gift, and handed it to Xia Bing, the head maid behind her.

Madam Jiang's smile did not reach her eyes. Her face showed a forced kindness. She raised her hand and said, "Hurry up and hum ...

Mother Qin stepped forward and lifted up Xie Qing: "My old lady asks Madam Xie and Miss Xie to stand up quickly. Thank you Madam and Miss Xie for coming to the Duke's Mansion to attend the birthday banquet. Please take a seat quickly."

Mrs. Xie was too lazy to greet others, so she took Xie Qing to sit in the first seat on the lower left. Xie Qing sat on the round stool behind her and winked at Jiang Luo.

Jiang Luo and the others also stepped forward one by one and saluted: "Jiang Luo/Jiang Yin/Jiang Chen/Jiang Nian, please greet Madam Xie."

Madam Xie smiled and took Jiang Luo's hand: "Madam is so lucky. Look at the young ladies in the mansion. They are all like flowers. Please get up quickly, young ladies."

When Madam Jiang saw her praising her granddaughters, the smile on her face became more genuine. She waved her hand and said, "Thank you, Madam."

"Luo'er can't go out? Why don't you go to Xie's house to play?" Madam Xie ignored Madam Jiang and instead patted Jiang Luo's hand and asked.

Madam Jiang: I should have known not to bother with that much effort...

Which of the ladies present was not a shrewd person? Seeing her like this, they all looked at each other with strange expressions.

Is this Mrs. Xie?

When did Mrs. Xie become so easy to talk to?

Mrs. Xie is too lazy to even attend banquets in the capital, so how could she invite others to the Xie Mansion?

This is impossible……

Everyone turned their attention to Jiang Luo again. There was nothing special about him!

Isn't it just that she is whiter, thinner, has bigger eyes, a cooler face, and a more noble temperament than their daughter...

Apart from these... well! These alone make their daughter look better than her...

However, perhaps because Mrs. Xie seldom traveled around Beijing and was not familiar with Miss Jiang's reputation, she was deceived by her appearance and thought she was a well-educated and well-mannered lady!

Little did people know that this Miss Jiang was a notorious vicious person who killed her mother and sister.

The wife of the Marquis of Ningyang has revealed her dislike for this young lady in front of outsiders more than once!

Thinking of this, the ladies looked at their daughters beside them and sighed silently. It seems that Madam Xie also has moments of being blinded by one thing.

They felt more balanced.

Jiang Luo naturally didn't know the comparisons and struggles among the ladies. She smiled sweetly at Madam Xie and said softly, "Thank you for your concern. Things have been busy in the mansion recently. Luo'er will come to visit you in a few days, okay?"

The reason why Mrs. Xie said these words in front of everyone was to let others know the relationship between Jiang Luo and the Xie family. It was also to warn them that if they met him outside in the future, they should think carefully and not bully the wrong person.

It was also to support Jiang Luo in front of the people in the Duke's Mansion!

Ever since they went to Qingquan Manor together that day, although some unpleasant things happened, she also looked at Miss Jiang in a completely different light.

The character of this Miss Jiang is worthy of Qing'er's love and attention, and is also worthy of the Xie family's care.

"Okay, okay, the door of Xie Mansion is open to you whenever you want to go." Madam Xie smiled and pushed her to Xie Qing behind her: "Go and talk to Qing'er. She keeps nagging me all day long about wanting to come and play with you. My ears are so tired. If it weren't for her unhealed foot injury, I really want to throw her into your yard."

Although it was disdain, everyone present could hear the doting in it.

When Jiang Luo heard her call him aunt, his heart trembled again. It seemed that Madam Xie was really different from others and really didn't care about the rumors in the outside world at all.

Her heart warmed slightly.

Since Mrs. Xie was so sincere, she would not be shy: "Okay, Aunt Xie, leave Sister Qing'er to me." After saying that, she moved towards Xie Qing, took her hand and shook it, and the two smiled at each other.

The hearts of the people, who had just balanced themselves, tilted again.

Although the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is very beautiful, her reputation outside is extremely bad and is not worth mentioning.

But Mrs. Xie and Jiejiu Xie, who always pay attention to rules, would actually let their precious daughter associate with such a person with a bad reputation?

It's really strange.

What is so good about this Miss Jiang?

Could it be that someone is hiding something?

Just as everyone was puzzled, the maid outside the door sang again: "The wife of Ningyang Marquis, the son of Ningyang Marquis, and the Princess of Jiayang County have arrived."

Upon hearing this, everyone stood up immediately, ready to welcome the most powerful marquis' wife in the Great Yong Dynasty.
